Hi

My nearside headlight (dipped beam) will not come on. The offside headlight dipped beam works fine, and brights work on both sides. If dipped and brights use same bulb, then it can't be a blown bulb, am I right in saying this?

Looking at fusebox diagram, there is no fuse for headlights. Can see foglight fuse, but not headlight. Anyone got any ideas what may be the problem? I don't have a multimeter, and money's tight this month, so hoping it's a straightforward fix.

Swap the bulbs round, and see if it's one of the filaments gone?

No - they are a dual filament bulb. It's quite common for the dipped filament to go before the main beam because it's used most.
